Forecasters predict heavy precipitation through Monday, warning of potential street flooding as residents share storm imagery.
By Jenna Mitchell ·
The KSAT Weather Authority team forecast that most areas in South Central Texas will receive between one and three inches of rain through Monday night. Specific locations may accumulate up to five inches of precipitation. The system is bringing heavier showers and scattered thunderstorms, conditions that increase the risk of ponding on roads and localized street flooding.
The current weather event is part of a wider pattern of rain spreading across the region. Forecasters expect the heaviest activity to continue through the end of the week. Residents are being encouraged to monitor local conditions as water levels rise in low-lying areas.
This development follows earlier reports of increasing moisture in the atmosphere. The weather team has been tracking the storm system as it moves through the area. They issued the updated totals to help the public prepare for potential disruptions. The guidance aims to provide clear expectations for rainfall amounts before Monday ends.
KSAT is asking viewers to contribute visual evidence of the weather. The station is accepting photos and videos of rain-soaked backyards and dramatic storm clouds. Submissions are reviewed for potential broadcast on air or online. Contributors can upload media through the KSAT Weather Authority app or the KSAT Connect web page.
The station recommends using the mobile application for consistent access. Users must sign in or create a free KSAT Insider account to upload content. The process involves selecting a channel and category, then adding a description to the media file. The final step is submitting the file for review.

The next major forecast update is scheduled for later this week. Meteorologists will refine the precipitation models as the storm system evolves. The team will provide additional details on thunderstorm intensity and total rainfall accumulation. Residents should check the latest data for changes in the storm's path or strength.
